First you mus abondon these flaws:
1. Identity view
2. Attachment to rites and rituals
3. Doubt about the teachings

After which your quest for enlightenment can start.

You're spending too much time worrying about finding it, when you are supposed to be learning what it means to be enlightened and how that reflects within your being.

There are two seperate roads to enlightenment.

1. The path of knowledge and teachings
2. The path of suffering

There are many different methods through learning it i.e; Kabbalism, iChing, etc.

whats wrong with gnosticism?

makes alot of sense compared to religious viewpoints

Let me enlighten you right here right now, without any bullshit or rules or whatever. You dont need to walk any paths or meditate or any of that dumb shit. All you gotta do is take what im about to say, and think about it until you believe it.

Nothing in this live, your next life, or the life before it ever mattered, or ever will matter. Nothing any great spiritual leader or political leader ever mattered. No great divide or holocaust or stitching together of long broken groups or forging of new alliances ever mattered and never will matter. Theres no point in doing anything in life.

Thats the point in life. There is no point.

Its your job to make that point, and if you decide you have no point to make, thats fine too.


The real path to believing in this? Thats the question. I did it by laying in bed for days with a cleared mind. I achieved that state by attempting to fall asleep, while working on a physical puzzle i knew i couldnt solve. Like rubics cubes and shit.

My captcha is a fucking eye chart. Fucking bullshit.

Therein lies the answer.
You are comparing stuff designed to make peace with yourself on a false premise. Both falls in that category.
What's wrong with altruism? Just be a good guy, no need to ask a demigod to do that.

Allah is a title meaning highest god and refers to the moon god Sin. They literally worship the moon.

OK, is it just me or is the Kybalion some kind of brainwashing?

I really resonate with the concepts of The All and As above/So below etc. However, I cant shake the feeling like the way the words are written are reprogramming my mind. I have trouble continuing to read it, only about 4 chapters in
>>
>>691300622
>>691300632
AAAAY ACTUALLY INB4'D

But yeah go back and read the end. If i really believed id reached enlightenment id surely have better words. Youve made my day by posting though, thank you. May your god smile upon you in all that you do.
>>
>>691300061
im 5 minutes in and already loving it, thanks anon
>>
>>691300364
Exactly. THere is no point in any of us being here, other than a genetic error called the pre-frontal cortex, which fucked up everything on this planet.
Life just wants to live - and somewhere along the lines we started to ponder the cosmos.
Bummer - but make yourself an others feel good.
Life just want to stay living - and it will do so on the massive heaps of corpses of it's own species.
>>
>691300888
ANY and ALL religious banter is designed to make mindless zombies out of it's worshippers.
Otherwise it wouldn't be a religion.
>>
>>691301024
Thanks for the input but i was trying to make shitty bait. Also the prefontal cortex exists in many mammals in almost the same level of complexity as our own. The real problem with us humans, is our intelligence in terms of mathematics and such. Otherwise we never would have created the things we have that ravage the world in the way they do

>>691301388
Well, no sense in arguing with like-minded people.
If philosophy and empathy was taught in schools (all schools), we should stand a better chance.
>>
>>691301223
I see what youre saying. Being raised in catholic school made me keenly aware of this. However, I have to disagree that ANY/ALL point.

Buddism, from my point of view and knowledge, isnt about worship or even following. Its about understanding ones self and its relationship to your enviroment and finding peace with that situation.

Just an example, im sure theres many.
>>
>>691302084
Listen to Merzbow in a dark room with just a candle lit.
After 1 hour of "Pulse Demon", your are cured.

>>691300970
Yea no problem. I went searching for enlightenment years ago. I'm rewatching that video now years later and realizing it changed me. I forgot how good it was. This clip stuck with me. Speaks with an authenticity and simplifies well.
>>
>>691302123
>Money management
>Music (playing and theroy)
>Math & Science
>Philosophy
>Empathy and emotional states

Should all be mandatory topics of teaching
>>
>>691302123
Can you explain why empathy should be tought in school? Ive never understand that. Ive got some form of aspbergers and i got along fine without empathy. Plus i feel like institutionalizing it is a great way to ruin it. Same with philosophy. I feel like we should figure out what caused the world communities to fall apart, and use those methods to bring back together the notion of familial ties and neighborhoods where you dont need to lock your door at night. Put the responsibility of teaching those things in the hands of the parents.
>>
>>691302288
You are aware of the fact that there are such a thing as violent Buddism has a violent faction?
>>
>>691302596
I have heard of it but like i said
>from my point of view and knowledge
so I dont know anything about them beside there existence. Does this detract from what I said? I dont think so. All religions has factions, off shoots etc. Again, any and all are just too black and white of a view. The worlds not that simple
>>
>>691302404
Can I be drunk ?
I'm going to do it tonight with a couple of beers
>>
>>691302591
Because there are no "meta" way of telling people to behave.
The problem is that we are 100% the same as our ancestors 90.000 years ago, and if you took one of them and brought him into this world in 2016, he couldn't be distinguished from other people.
That means we start over every time someone is born.
It's a false notion to thing we "progressed as a people".
Out educational system has the power to stop people from being assholes (and then we can talk Foucault for hours on how we even have an idea about being an asshole).
But we need to put some basic knowledge into the minds of our new citizens, otherwise they will burn, skin and drown people for fun (the ISIS way).
I'm not saying empathy as a pathological state is required (acknowledging you condition), but some form of seeing the world through the eyes of you fellow man, is required. Otherwise you end up as a ruler in North Korea.
>>
>>691303200
It's nasty shit, you need to fall inwards - beer, weed, harsh reality - whatever floats your inward travel.
>>
>>691303495
Never thought about it that way. Thank you.
>>
>>691297454
youre too self-centered and selfish, you lack compassion and empathy

and your desires that you think would make you happy, literally make you suffer and be miserable
>>
/b/ is the land of bullshit. Most of the people here are misguided af, some of the most unenlightened people you will ever meet. So the way they think here just think the opposite.
>>
>>691304001
Could be - but he could also just have a sense of missing part of the puzzle.
This feeling is great for reaching out and teach yourself something that matters, other than reading LOTR and GoT.
Pick up a book you know you would hate, and when you can't put it back halfway through, you know you hit something.
You NEED to be angry about what you read, agreeing with someone has never progressed anything.
Sokrates knew that, and Plato is good for the experience.
Try Discipline and Punish by Michel Faucoult (to beat that horse again).
Try Nietsche and you will get mad at his incessant rants - but the process will teach you valuable lessons (especially in the latter case).
>>
>>691304001
Pretty accurate.
>>
>>691305060
Setting yourself in elite groups just gives you the pleasure of circle jerking.
At least you have the chance of reaching someone in here for the better (although it's a tall order, I know).

Exactly why I come here. I don't like circle jerking.
